Book Description
On the morning of Sunday, June 23, 2002, 100 participants gathered at The Museum of Modern Art in midtown Manhattan, along with a 12-person Peruvian brass band, and a horse, dogs, and numerous palanquins, atop which sat replicas of three masterpieces from the museum's collection--Picasso's "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon," Duchamp's ready-made "Bicycle Wheel" and a Giacometti--and a living representative of contemporary art, Kiki Smith. Three hours later they ended their procession at the museum's new temporary home, in Queens. Along the way, which ran from 11 West 53 Street, over the Queensboro Bridge, and up Queens Boulevard, the procession absorbed 100 additional participants, and enacted a very public spectacle--part saint's day procession and part secular celebration--of the museum's historic move to MoMA QNS.

Book Description
The Sign Painting Project came into being between 1993 and 1997 through a collaboration between Francis Alÿs and professional billboard-painters from Mexico City, particularly Rotulistas Juan Garcia, Enrique Huerta and Emilio Rivera. Alÿs brought the billboard-painters some of his small-format oil paintings and asked them if they would copy and enlarge these motifs. Today the resulting paintings are scattered throughout the world. This book presents the grand scale and multifaceted motifs of the Sign Painting Project for the first time.

Book Description
A remarkable chapter in the now extensive body of work of Francis Alÿs is his impressive series on children?s games played all over the world. This collection of short videos has been steadily growing since 1999. The most recent addition to the series is number 18, featuring children playing knucklebones in Nepal (Children?s Games 18 / Knucklebones, Kathmandu, Nepal, March 2017). In other videos, children kick a bottle up a steep street in Mexico City, play roughly with crickets in Venezuela, fly kites in Afghanistan, and ricochet stones on the sea near Tangier in Morocco.00The exhibition is accompanied by a richly illustrated English-language publication specifically devoted to the Children's Games. With contributions by curator and art historian Cuauhtémoc Medina and David MacDougall, ethnographer and filmmaker. Medina places the Children's Games series in Alÿs' wider oeuvre. In his essay, MacDougall reflects on the limited research on children in ethnographic studies in general and the field of visual anthropology in particular.00Exhibition: Eye Filmmuseum, Amsterdam, The Netherlands (19.12.2019 - 08.03.2020).

Book Description
The exhibition presented a film by Alÿs in collaboration with Julien Devaux alongside a map of the artist's journey, photocollages, paintings, drawings, and a group of sculptures. The film shows Alÿs carrying a dripping can of green paint along the armistice boundary that Moshe Dayan marked on a map with green pencil after Israel's War of Independence ended in 1948. It questions the physicality and cultural relevance of the Green Line, its function as a social and spiritual division in the city of Jerusalem, and its role in the Arab-Israeli conflict. This trilingual exhibition catalogue features interviews conducted by Alÿs with eleven activists, academics, and journalists (Ruben Aberjil, Albert Agazarian, Yael Dayan, Jean Fisher, Rima Hamami, Amira Hass, Nazmi Jobeh, Yael Lerer, Eyal Sivan, Michael Warschawski, Eyal Weizman). Also included are a fold-out map and DVD of the film with options to listen to the recorded interviews.

Book Description
"Based on a multimedia installation by Francis Alys, The Last Clown, tells the story of an unplanned meeting between a stroller and dog. While exploring randomness, Francis Alys reflects on the role of laughter and trickery in the creative process as well as on the multiple territories occupied by the artist. His work is at once enigmatic and ironic, grave and light. By way of the several forms in the artistic process, he also explores the role of the artist, and looks at the parameters that could define an artistic practice of today. Essay by Michele Theriault."
